.4 Concise Guide to Ely Cathedral. By John Willis Clark.

(Macmillan and Bowes, Cambridge. 6d.)—Mr. Clark first gives the reader an "Historical Introduction," and then, by a skilful arrangement which preserves the chronological order of what is seen and described, conducts him "in one walk" round the Cathedral. It is rendering a real public service when so well qualified a person as Mr. Clark undertakes the humble function of the cicerone. Is not the effigy of Bishop Moore noticeable for being bearded? Few ecclesiastics at the time of his death (1714) wore the beard.
